For those of you who don't read my journal, I've recently had a scare of epic praportions where my bearmate Guido is concerned.

We were both diagnosed Type 2 in 2004. He's had more medical issues than myself to the point where he can't just control his blood sugar with diet and exercise like me, so he takes an intricate cocktail of meds subscribed for high blood pressure and renal issues as well.

Yesterday he made the mistake of taking his glucuse meds without eating, which lowered his blood sugar to dangerous levels that almost killed him.

Check out my journal for more.

And don't forget to eat!!!

I would go really low on glyburide.. Even on a half pill I would still be going low at 8pm.

On another note... I would like to sincerely offer my condolences on the loss of your partner.

Peace be with you.
